TLDR
In this article, the student and stable models were used to compare the rates of return of different stock price models, including the Student Distribution and the Stable Distribution, in terms of the Likelihood Ratio and the Fama-Roll.Abstract:

Why econometricians don't replicate (although they do reproduce)
Philip Mirowski,Steven Sklivas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors give a more formal statement of the model of the problem of replication given in Harry Collins' Changing order, and apply the model to a recent controversy over the lack of replication of econometric research in the economics literature.

Continuous Time Processes with Stable Increments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the distribution of the largest discontinuity in the intermediate stable case and of all the discontinuities in the worst Cauchy case and concluded that the stable assumption should be given serious attention in financial model building.

11 Nonlinear time series, complexity theory, and finance
TL;DR: The authors describes statistical aspects of a line of recent work in finance that is associated with nonlinearity, long-term dependence, fat tails, chaos theory, and complexity theory, which emphasizes how simple rules can induce complicated behavior of the observables.

Preferred numbers and the distributions of trade sizes and trading volumes in the Chinese stock market
TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of the q-Gamma function for fitting the distribution by the Cramer-von Mises criterion was analyzed based on the limit order book data of 22 liquid Chinese stocks listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in the whole year 2003.

A comparison of some robust, adaptive, and partially adaptive estimators of regression models
TL;DR: In this article, the relative performance of adaptive robust estimators (partially adaptive and adaptive procedures) with some common non-adaptive estimators is compared with the performance of the adaptive estimators, including OLS, LAD, and the generalized method of moments estimator.

The Distribution of Share Price Changes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented both theoretical and empirical evidence about a probability distribution which describes the behavior of share price changes, which is the only known simple distribution to fit changes in share prices, and provided a far better fit to the data than the stable Paretian, compound process, and normal distributions.

Parameter Estimates for Symmetric Stable Distributions
Eugene F. Fama,Richard Roll +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, estimators for the scale parameter and characteristic exponent of symmetric stable distributions are proposed and Monte Carlo studies of these estimators are reported. And the powers of various goodness-of-fit tests of a Gaussian null hypothesis against non-Gaussian stable alternatives are also investigated.
